What is the momentum (in kg m/s) of a object moving at ?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: B. 16
**
- Step 1: By definition, momentum is the product of an object's mass and its velocity: .
- Step 2: Plug in and : .
- Step 3: The resulting momentum is .
Answer
16.
Why not the others: '8' halves the momentum product (); '10' adds mass and velocity () instead of multiplying them; '128' calculates (or kinetic energy scale) instead of linear momentum .
